Authorship is a blockchain-based platform with an aim of making internet “more free and accessible for authors and readers”.
Authorship aims build a decentralized network, that connects authors, translators and publishers. In other words, authors can easily find good publishers for their manuscripts and publishers will have a whole range of new content to sift through, and discover the next big GRISHAM! The authorship tokens, or ATS, will be required by readers to access the content on the platform and make purchases.
"Authorship’s development started in March 2017. The company is hoping for a full release by June 2018, with 25,000 authors expected on the platform by December 2018." - Source: www.bitcoinexchangeguide.com
Currently, they are running a bounty program, and giving away 75 free tokens, for signing up and another 75 for each referral. I don't know about it's future as a cryptocurrency, but as an avid book worm I'm super excited! 75 tokens, worth $10, means at least 1 free book! That's good enough for me, for the 30 second form that I had to fill out. If you, like me are interested, please use my referral link, so I can get more free books :).

If you think this is spam, because I shared my referral link, just go to the website directly. I just honestly wanted to share, something that got me excited. I love free stuff!
